Fair Confessions
I wasn’t going to attend the fair last weekend at all, but since my brother and his wife were going to the house building part of the fair I tagged along anyway. As expected there wasn’t a lot to see, but there were a few minor nice things. Some of the vendors that usually come to the shows were there, but some were missing. A lot of them were selling stuff that isn’t really suitable for the Finnish climate, but the kind of stuff I buy anyway, since I’m fortunate enough to have my wonderful greenhouse and I kind of know what I’m doing – at least most of the time… En…

A Day Trip To Estonia
A wonderful lady over at Klorofylli.com, a gardening site with an active forum of Finnish gardening enthusiast, decided to arrange a day trip to Estonia a few weeks ago. I was very happy to join the trip. Our main stop was Nurga Puukool, a really good nursery with an adjoining arboretum that was hosting a small fair for smaller nurseries. We went there by a large bus, took the first morning ferry and started out with the wonderfully picturesque Nomme market. From there on, we continued to Nurga Puukool which is a really good nursery, especially for pine enthusiasts, otherwise it is really good but not exceptional. The adjoining Ellamaa…

Oh, Åland Part 1
Oh, Åland indeed, Åland [ˈoːland], the small group of islands between Finland and Sweden which are a bit special and very beautiful. I visited the islands with Blomsterodlingens vänner i Finland, BOVarna, and as my friends in that club are most likely to read this post, I am going to write mostly in Swedish for a change 🙂 Kävin Ahvenanmaalla Blomsterodlingens vänner i Finland, BOVareitten kanssa, joten oletan että minulla olisi tähän enimmäkseen kiinnostuneita lukijoita ruotsiksi joten jatkan sillä 🙂 Jag besökte alltså Åland med Blomsterodlingens vänner i Finland, BOVarna, för litet mer än en vecka sedan. Det var Bovarnas årliga trädgårdsresa för i år som den här gången gick inrikes. Vartannat år reser…
